Turned the Rangers on last night and it was they were already down 6-1 in the 3rd inning. They're making it hard to be a fan this year. Good lord what has happened to their pitching?

We need to stop calling Cole Hamels the ace of the staff. The Rangers have no ace.

Pudge was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and Adrian got his 3,000th hit. Today has been a very good day in Rangerland!

Man, that was failed. Considering they got back PTBNL, I almost would have ridden it out with him and seen if they could have brought him back cheapish, considering this season seems like an aberration. Or maybe he just sucks now. He'll probably see an uptick in numbers in Coors and get a nice deal.

If they were going to do it, they should have done it a month ago. The market isn't the same as a couple of years ago ... when the Rangers were buyers. I do agree the haul is underwhelming, but it's better than a comp pick.

True that, it just would have been nice to get an actual pitching prospect. Calhoun is worth little to the Dodgers, but it would have been great to get, say, Calhoun with Buehler. Failing that, you could have taken an injured guy like Brock Stewart or Chase De Jong. At least give yourself a shot at a rotation replacement.

:babyarm: I'm disappointed in the return and also disappointed in no terrible sweet greggo hot take up in here after such major rangers news.

I'm never too far away. I know this was the smart "baseball" decision, but personally I think JD should have just paid the guy. He's a huge fan favorite, he didn't suck, and if we could get someone to actually hit the flippin' ball he would have won a few more games here.

Is he worth $30/yr? I dunno. Who cares? People love him and he genuinely seemed like he wanted to stay here. I'd love to see the stadium attendance and tv numbers with him vs w/out him. Merch sales, too. Surely there was an ROI for Yu that went beyond his win/loss record.

They can still pay him in the offseason if that's what they want to do. He wasn't going to take a discount to stay here. The only difference now is the Dodgers have a 5 day exclusive negotiating window, instead of the Rangers. But if they couldn't come to an agreement in the last year, that 5 days isn't going to make a difference.

He's not coming back. If JD wanted him he would have paid him already.
